Review the procedures in which public higher education institutions determine a student’s need
for remedial courses
Tony Hutchison

o The Regents office is studying whether the cut scores for determining the need for
remediation are at the right level.
o Since 2006, the Regents have tried to determine how is best to place students.
o Possible solutions include creating a fourth year of math, transition courses, summer
courses and transition courses taken before starting college.
Jay Corwin
University of Central Oklahoma, senior associate vice president enrollment management
jcowwin@uco.edu
o According to 2007-08 data, there is a higher percentage of remediation for students over
the age of 21 thus remediation is not always full of students right out of high school.
o UCO administrators look at students ACT score to determine whether they need to take a
placement exam.
o The university has adjusted its requirements for some majors. Some majors do not need
to take as many math courses.
o The university and some departments offer free tutoring.
Paul Bell
University of Oklahoma, dean and vice provost for instruction
pbell@ou.edu
o The university has a two-tiered remedial system. Not all students need to take college
algebra. Instead, they might take general education math or other options.
o Students can take a math placement test the summer before they start college.
o The university would like to outsource all remedial math courses to the community
colleges within a year or two.
